Synopsis

Amide Proton Transfer weighted (APTw) imaging is a promising MR molecular technique for characterizing brain tumors on clinical 3T scanners. However, improving the APT weighted contrast is crucial to translate this approach to clinical practice. In this work we investigated a novel spatial denoising filter in synthetic and clinical APTw data of brain tumor patients.
